Theodore Waddell’s Abstract Angus

Identity design and exhibition graphics
Theodore Waddell arrived in New York in the early 1960s, only a short decade after abstract expressionists like Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, and Clyfford Still dominated the art world. Gleaning elements from this art movement, Waddell returned home to his native Montana and created works of nearly abstract backgrounds that suggest the landscape.
By painting figures that symbolized cattle in snow-filled backgrounds, the painter walks the line of abstraction and realism. This exhibition challenges the common perception that all western American art is created in a realistic style.

Watching Me, Watching You
 
Identity design exhibition graphics for the Modern & Contemporary Department’s Works on Paper Gallery
The drawings in this exhibition are intriguing, often amusing, touched with a dash of magic or madness,  they share
one significant link—they all reveal the inner workings of the artist’s mind. They reveal evidence of wit and humor and inquisitiveness and that special mix of energy that makes them breathe, as if they are watching us as we are watching them. 
 
 
 
 
Robert Adams: The Place We Live
 
Exhibition graphics for this traveling Retrospective Selection of Photographs
This retrospective offers a comprehensive look at the work of a 20th century master who challenges conventional ideas
of landscape photography by looking at damaged, marginal, and overfamiliar places as well as places of quiet, seemingly untouched, beauty. Rather than offering escape, Adams inspires new ways of seeing by asking viewers to acknowledge and care for the world in all its imperfection.

of art and design of the 20th century. This exhibition shows Bayer in his early years as a young artist with natural talent.
The Bauhaus gave him principles that would guide his entire career of more than 60 years.
